General Description

SAC3023 is a GaAs MMIC LNA die for 1.4 to 3 GHz that combines a 0.8 dB noise figure with 36 dB of gain. Flatness is ±0.5 dB, output P1dB is 18 dBm and OIP3 is 28 dBm.

Expect about 100 mA from +5 V. VSWR is 1.4:1 at each port, and the die measures 1.57 x 1.25 x 0.1 mm. That much gain at sub-1 dB noise means one chip can stand in for a two-stage front end in L and S band radar or radio receivers.
